[Guide] Kobold MP SetUp *Updated*

Hello cobra, I followed your guide but i still have problems making players to connect over the internet. I use a router with ports: 3724,3725,4200,8580,8080 forwarded to my local ip. I got the internet player connected to the server and after that he is able to see the realm but then when he clicks on it it says connecting and then it goes again to the realm list. I'm using kennys pack 2.3-3.1(I'm trying everything). I'm using my local/internal ip in all the configurations and tables in my sql. Any solution for that?

would the IP adress your looking for be the one you ex. find on Your IP: 69.72.187.42
which looks something like this; xx.xx.xxx.xxx
ex: 73.12.163.123

or the other one which you can get from ipconfig (not all get the above one there, depends on setup)
xxx.xxx.x.xxx
ex:
192.168.1.200

or??

for the moment my external ip is 212.251.109.64 (dynamic)
my internal is 192.168.1.2
my routers ip is 192.168.1.1

If i set my local to the realm_list table then i got connected and the internet players can't.

If i set my internet ip in the realm_list table then i got the internet players connected but i cant from the computer that host the server and i guess from no other computer from my lan.

Into the conf files i have set up my local ip and into the sql files i have used localhost.

It's all about how carefully you config everything. From the way you're wording it, it's like you didn't set everything up to be 100% local or 100% internet based. Don't forget to change your realmlist.wtf in your wow folder to match what you're doing. And I got your PM. I replied with my MSN if you have more questions.

Here is my problem:

I'm using 192.168.1.135 (my internal IP, behind my router with the proper ports (3724, 3725, and 4200 forwarded to my computer) as all the ip's in all the config files, including the defaultrealmaddr in login_server.conf..

I'm also using 192.168.1.135 as the realmlist and worldlist (or whatever the two proper tables in mysql were, they're correctly set at 192.168.1.135).

I can connect & play just fine, but when my friends on the internet try to connect, they can log in just fine but after they get assigned to the realm, it just loops on the realm selection list and the 'cancel' button.. what the heck is going on?

Notice: When I set all the IPs to my external address, the world server just keeps going through a startup loop of death.. just keeps going over and over again -.-

PROBLEM SOLVED! This was my solution:

With every other IP (in the config files and the world variable in the mysql db) my local one (192.168.1.135), I set my IP in realmlist to my EXTERNAL IP and now I and my friends can use the server :)

here is my problem
ImageShack - Hosting :: namnlsyx4.jpg
the ws server just reloads every time i try to connect
what shall i start first, second and last, ls, ws and rs

New issue from em; tryed all possible ways with ip's to get this working, but each time I try the "right" setup (all ip's local ip, beside the realm_list it's my ext. ip), then me and my mates just get to the login screen stall at "connecting" and then disconnects. I got a SMC7004ABR router which I find it rather hard to figure out how to open ports (any help would be great) but think I've opened all ports needed; 3725, 3724, 4200 - yet I think it might be an issue with the router that we cant connect. In top of that I thought that it might be the firewall, so that's totally disabled atm, so can't be that either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I discussed with cobra on msn and we figured a way to solve this problem. Im gonna make a tutorial soon but just for now if you are familiar with networking the only way to get connected to an internet server using your local ip is to install a loopback adapter and use your INTERNET IP as the device ip, /24 as the subnet and your LOCAL IP as the gateway. You dont need any DNS. Then you can use either the INTERNET or LOCAL IP in your realmlist.wtf in order to connect to your server. If you dont know how to do this wait for my detailed tutorial.

BTW Mace which router do you use? This might helps :punch:

Ok, i followed every step correct.

But now, i get this error after Honor system is loaded.

Code:

---

Network: Cannot bind listener to address: No error
WorldSrv: Can't start listening login server socket.
Python: scripting shut down ->>>

---

Any solutions?

Ports? Seems like it's trying to find a connection it can't connect to.
Lemme update that as well in my guide.

@mace Maybe I misread correctly, BUT ALL the ips in your .conf files, .wtf file, and realm_list worldserver_list need to be the same. The WS will try to connect to the RS IP...don't ask why. Maybe not what you meant by

(all ip's local ip, beside the realm_list it's my ext. ip),

---

But just incase make all IPs the same.

Not the ports!

I put the same ip to all which is my external ip.

I didn't change any of ports, i left it as it was.

Any solutions?

Thanks in Advance

EDIT: Ok, i'm gonna ask you a funny question. Where do other pplz create account?

which version is this for because when i try to connect it says in ls:
LogonSrv: <<<-- Accepting client connections -->>>
t connected = [85.230.89.74] - [1628]
auth: checking ip 85.230.89.74
auth: checking ip 85.230.89.74 --> [OK]
auth: checking ip 85.230.89.74
auth: checking ip 85.230.89.74 --> [OK]
LogonSrv: Login failed...
auth: failed to auth client with error code[9]
is is because my wow version is 1.8.0

You have to do it as Mace did. It can't bind the ip address because it doesnt exist on your computer, Only your router has it. So the solution is to put your LAN IP to all the conf files (not the sql.conf) of all folders (ws,rs,ls) and at the wolrdlist table in the db BUT put the EXTERNAL IP in your realmlist table in the db. Although this solution wont work for SOHO users. I'm working to find a solution. Unfortunately this server doesnt have NAT capabilities like mangos has so we have to mess up with the router. I will let you know with any news since the loopback adapter doesnt work for all LAN computer but only for the lan computer with the server.
